SHIP-SHAPEing up!

Step by step, inch by inch the mighty . . . . ah heck, it's just a balsa wood frame. BUT IT's MY SHIP!!!! So far the mainframe has been assembled and I am in the process of putting together the many splines that will form the skeleton of shape AL's spaceship.

On a creative note I have to say that the process of designing and developing something that I have envisioned for so long is AWESOME. Seeing the ship that I have drawn for years come to life is just a thrill.9 AND the idea of making AL EoN into something tangible is a jazz to the power of 10. (it's an artist thing, i hope you understand).

"AL EoN Encounters -The Strip" is cooking up nicely. I have 6 strong story ideas and hope to get them drawn soon. The strips will establish his presence and how he got/gets here on earth.

I guess that's it for the ol' nikster today. Come back soon and let me know what you think of all this AL EoN stuff. I am quite sure that it is more cool to me than you but how much so. Let me know.

Shalom.

Strip Tease

Sometimes getting started isn't as easy as one might think. Even though Al has been around for roughly 30 years, appeared in dozens of strips in several different publications he hasn't really ever made it in the BIG TIME!!!! Well, as it turns out there's a ray of hope in these latter days of the great planet Earth. A publication called the Morse Messenger (a small but noted rag published in the Cicero area) has shown an interest in the "Al EoN Encounters". The strip above is the first official appearance of Al in a publication in years. It was written by my pal Kevin Daugherty a few years back and is now making a debut.

Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming Al strips. Perhaps this is the launch (pun intended) of a new American hero . . . . or just an intergalactic shlub. Either way, here come da "Aleckian . . . Al EoN"

Sha-sha-shalom
